Ouch - twins. I wonder which one will be the evil one?

I would be hiring a staff for that mother load!

(Conan rules!)

Good photo... He looks like my brother at a younger age... I guess it's the glasses... weird.

Yeah, whatever... Sorry... I didn't see the hacked page that was posted.

What do you mean by "hijacked" and why have you decided these websites are of lesser value or importance than any other?

Yeah, Dylan sold his soul to iTunes, a website which is associated with the ever so popular iPod.. which will be a useless gadget by 2010. Whatever... As for E.C. supporting his own "operations" business, have you ever watched the Office? Lighten up! If there is money to be made from your ...

No. It's all about this: http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/#080806uni Take note of UM building a direct channel to the "consumer"/listener... E.C. could do this own his own. Buy a short code, build a WAP site, and allow subscribers to stream and listen to exclusive music... No problem. As fo...

This is always a great weekend in SF. So many stages, so little time.... bitchin'. I'm there!

Whatever deal was brokered between E.C. and Universal, I hope, for E.C.'s sake, that a clause exists that allows him to connect directly to his fans via the digital domain. We all know by now that the future of music distribution is not CDs or vinyl, but digital. I just hope E.C. or his agent didn't...

Never sell your soul to the wankers at the top... I am disappointed. I just read the headline and shook my head. As an artist - being popular or unpopular - the only thing you need to know is to never sell your digital rights to any major label.. When you do that you are accepting the standard distr...

Oh, more junk from Hollywood.. What a surprise.. How about SHE IS SO LAME... podcasting - oh, so cutting edge, man. The term will be obsolete in 3 years... anyone care to wager on that? Eggers - maybe... he lives in my town and I hear he hits on all the girls, so he is probably a pig. Old Elvis - ye...

NICE... Good luck with the action! I'm overbooked... otherwise, I would help you out...

Oh wait, maybe you prefer men? Not that there is anything wrong with that! uh... have fun!

OH yeah, I believe that one!

Is VH1 Classic a separate channel? I turned on VH1 and there was some lame program about rock stars and the top 40 hot wives. It seems the program was targeting adolescent boys/wanna be rockstar types. There were lots of still shots of women with big boobs - and that was just the first 10 minutes. N...

Oh yeah, I saw DK at Davies Symphony Hall and she had a bit of an edge on stage. She was negative with an "I don't care what you think attitude." I found it entertaining and at times could relate to the mood. Then, I became concerned. She wasn't in a good place, it seemed. Maybe it was ins...

I went to a Pandora "town hall" event last night in San Francisco. During the event someone mentioned that the service often has difficulty with artists who explore multiple genre styles. The CEO and few others in the audience mentioned Elvis Costello as an example. If you have an Elvis Co...

DIME is dissin' me. I can't create an account because DIME maxed out on subscribers space?!?.... LAME. Who is the wanker running the server farm?)

Does anyone have acct. info. so I can login and download? Or, we can coordinate a separate upload/download connection.. Thanks.

Is it tomorrow? Another quality show. Unfortunately, I took advantage of being in Cape Cod and had a few Cape Cods before the show. Some comments: 1 - Checked out the Paddock before the show and thoroughly enjoyed the piano player. He had a show tunes sing-a-long - CLASSIC. 2 - The rotating stage wa...

Cool. There is hope for the future of music!

I attended both the Oakland and Saratoga shows and I must say, both were excellent. The Bay Area weather was perfect and combined with the summer solstice, insomnia, and booze - the shows had good energy - at least for me. I had moments of hyperactivity and wanderlust at the Saratoga show, but I sur...

Today, I discovered Wonder Woman and it's now tied with FFTS. The intro has a pfunkish vibe... awesome. Also, I think I want to kiss Anthony Brown (just once) for his damn fine guitar work on this album.

Hey Neil. - Go back and listen to Wonder Woman. It's a happening track. The intro reminds me of PFunk Chocolate City... (We gainin' on ya')... I just discovered it today and it's now one of my favorite tracks. I can't wait to hear this live... Toodles...

Right now, my favorite is Freedom for the Stallion. It's so timely and speaks the truth. If you are an American, the only thing you can do right now is pray. That's all we have left because the nation is falling apart with clowns we have in the white house, global warming, corporate crime, etc.

Excellent lead track. Although, I think I prefer the Little Feat version just for the LG vocals.

On the cult list, E.C. is in good company with T-Bone Burnett, Calexico, Wolfmother (rock on), Matthew Sweet, Big Star, Tom Verlaine, Emmy Lou Harris. Exceptions on this list include: Scissor Sisters, Pet Shop Boys, and Def Leppard. The "star" list is a sad line up. The cult list is a much...
